DR.. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has
new treatment for consumption
he gives an enema OF carbonic acid and
snlphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part OF the
throat and lungs
This treatment, too, is directed at effects
- the cause remains undisturbed.
what this cause Is has been stated by per-
maps the highest pulmonary authority ia the
sumptives. In London, Eng.
This malady every year carries OF from
sone-seyenth to one-fifth Of the entire popu-
lation of England.
Dr. Payne, AZ D., M RI G. r., London, is
authority for this statement.
Inc same Or greater proportion Of deaths
Or. Payne also says that oneshalf the total
number Of deaths from all other causes
have seeds of this disease ia the system which
only require some irritantt to developl
Dr Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption IS
caused by deficient nutrition Of the lungs
by poor blood
These authorities cannot be disputed. The
medical world recognizes them. The uric
Q i'd is tho irritant in the blood that causes
the development of the seeds which DIR.
Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood
Every particle of blood which passes through
the lungs and heart, also goes through
the Kidneys, and II they are in the least de.
ranged they cannot rid the blood Of its kill
ing poison. The thousand little hair-like
sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get
blocked up and diseased; and when they do
they corrupt instead Of purifying the blood.
Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain
occur in that organ, because it is deficient ID
nerves Of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and it
soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid poi
soned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
he Brompton Hospital investigation
shove that 81 per cent. of the victims of
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi
son to remain in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid is always fighting every
vital organ, and il there be any inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably cause
pneumonia, cough and consumption.
Thereal cause of pulmonary troubles being
so authoritatively shown to be faulty even
though unsupported action Of the kidneys,
explains why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood of the
uric acid irritant which in1ames and burns
up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great specific,
Warmers safe cure. The remedy has now
the favor of medical men all over the world
purely on its merits We have no doubt that
II the kidneys are kept in natural action, con-
sumption and great many other diseases,
caused by uric acid, will not only be cured
but win be prevented
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the water, but albumen Is found
in the water Of more than half of those who
die of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weak
ened kidneys; se-ond, retained uric acid,
poisoning the blood; third, the development
Of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids
Passing through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss Of flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats;
and when the patient goes to his school
physician for help, he is put on cod liver oil,
which his stomach, weakened also by uric
acid in the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys,
the patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and by
d-by the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemor
rhages, and at last the CLASSY stare which de
notes that the end is nearl
"A pOst-m0rtem examination of such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has COM
pletely destroyed the Substance of the lung.
It IS impossible to cure lung diseases when
the blood Is poisoned with uric acid.
